Another new UK owner
Another new UK owner, well not really new just forgot to post up a thread!
I picked up my new M5 5 weeks ago now.... I am about 1000 miles in and should have RIS done in the next week! It's not been too much of an issue holding off, but will be fun to wind her open a bit more.. Anyway the spec I got is: Saf Black M Seat Belts Apple Car Play Silverstone Leather, w carbon structure trim Comfort Pack Driving Assistant plus M Sports Exhaust M Seat Belts B+W stereo Car was thankfully delivered completely untouched with all the packaging still on so I could detail from a known starting point. After 20 hours of polishing it was fully sealed with Gtechniq products inside and out, black grills added also. Now looking like this, but I'm sure you know what they look like!:

Looks great!
I did the same with the collection - took the stickers off and added full Gtechniq. My spec was pretty much as yours, but S Grey with black. Not a massive fan of the interior trim, preferring the carbon I had in my M3, but better than most choices and as a built car, I got what I got. Silly question - the front grill V brace bars - are they matt or gloss? |

Loving the interior as its quite a change and makes it feel roomy, not too fussed about lack of proper carbon my other car has plenty and suits the feel fo that better - well my opinion anyway! Brace bars are matt, but have now been sealed so are a satin - but def not gloss

I had a bit of a crap experience to be honest. Car was filthy and once home, parked up for a week until the detailer could come. Once clean, noticed a few marks on the bumper and ended up a 'who's problem' conversation - didn't end up satisfied, so won't go back, but all sorted now. My M3 Comp brace was gloss and every other M5 was too. Apart from mine, which are matt, so at least that makes two now! Should have done them on day one, but left until I could confirm, but now will make a decision to leave 'patchy', wrap, remove and paint - what have you sealed them with - Gtechniq? |

Bars were polished with Menz 3800 and light cutting pad, then sealed with MenzPowerlock and Collinite 845 as I wanted to see how they faired before doing a ceramic coat. Didn't want to lock in patchiness. The M5 I test drove had matt bars also, that was a 2018 built car so they didn't look unusual to me.

I shall have a word with my local guy about the bars - most importantly, I know that is how they should be, so can build on that - so thanks! The service manager said he '"thought they had gone off" FFS. "Like a pint of milk" I asked Anyway, thankfully dealers are not few and far between... |

Was surprised to learn my build date as October 2018, when collected unregistered in September 2019, but the massive discount helped Anyway, less of my issues, enjoy your car! |

No I hear you, it should be how you want! And they shouldn't fob you off no matter what discount they gave
